Wrong CPU Temps (Foxconn M61PMV - P10 BIOS)

Me again... This isn't a bug with your program per-say but I was hoping you could help. Every since I bought this board to replace a cheapy ECS that went bad the CPU temps have never been displayed correctly. The computer is located outside (short but embarrassing story)and I live in Texas. Right now the ambient temperature is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit or roughly 18.3 degrees Celsius. Even at this comfortable temp the processor is reporting temperatures right around ambient conditions. I don't have the stock heatsink on the chip but I doubt a $13 92MM tower is that good. It isn't crucial and like I said it might be a problem with the board itself. I haven't ran across a program that gives me what I would think would be the actual temperature. With that said, again, it just might be the board. If you want to poke around with this let me know what info you need.

Looking at my Sensor page it also displays that my GPU fan is running at 100%. But the card is a fanless Sapphire card. Again AIDA64 could just be reporting what it's reading from CCC or another source.

After looking at the report on the site to make sure I deleted personal info I noticed that Unknown is just Unknow. Should be an easy fix.

1) The "Unknow" is part of what your BIOS provides under the DMI spec. Please see Q#10 at:

http://www.aida64.com/support/knowledge-base

2) The 100% GPU duty cycle is provided by the video card itself, and such weird values are normal when the video card has no fan connected.

3) As for the CPU temperature, maybe the temperature labelled as "Aux" is the actual CPU temperature on your motherboard. Can you please check what happens to the 3 temperatures measured by your motherboard ("CPU", "Motherboard" and "Aux") once you start to load the processor? You can use e.g. AIDA64 System Stability Test to load the processor: go to AIDA64 / main menu / Tools / System Stability Test, uncheck all tests except for "FPU", and press the Start button. Follow the temperatures on the Sensor page, and let us know what conclusion can you draw out of that. Based on your test, we can adjust the temperature labels on the Sensor page.

Thanks,

Fiery
